Gortozet 'm eus, gortozet pell E skeud teñval tourioù gell E skeud teñval tourioù gell E skeud teñval an tourioù glav C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav Un deiz a vo 'teuio en-dro Dreist ar maezioù, dreist ar morioù 'Teuio en-dro an avel c'hlas Da analañ va c'halon c'hloaz't Kaset e vin diouzh e alan Pell gant ar red, hervez 'deus c'hoant Hervez 'deus c'hoant pell eus ar bed Etre ar mor hag ar stered

I was waiting, waiting for a long time In the dark shadow of grey towers In the dark shadow of grey towers In the dark shadow of rain towers You will see me waiting forever You will see me waiting forever One day it will come back Over the lands, over the seas The blue wind will return And take back with it my wounded heart I will be pulled away by its breath Far away in the stream, wherever it wishes Wherever it wishes, far away from this world Between the sea and the stars
